Life, properly interrupted

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blankie update to bring you an update of a much less boring sort. Katie and Carlos’ second son arrived last week, just about three weeks early, but perfect, tiny and delightful. I did the only appropriate thing, and dropped everything – including the blog.

He is itty- bitty and healthy, and all you could ask for in a nephew, and he and his family are in the process of being properly, wonderfully and delightedly adored, on all fronts. There is not a person in this family that can wipe the smile off their faces.

More about him later, so very much more, but in the meantime, a few pictures of the wonderfulness that is this wee lad. (I know you’ll ask, and yes, Luis adores him, although he did tell me the other evening that a big fire truck is coming, and when it gets here, it will take the baby to his home.)

I hope you can excuse me while I spend any spare moments I have celebrating this arrival. He’ll only be little for a little while – and as much as I think you’re all nifty,

you can’t hold a candle to this.

*PS. I took a few minutes to finish the sweater I knit for him a little while ago. It only needed the monogram, and I added that the other evening, and took it over today.

So very glad Frankie is healthy and by the looks of it everyone is so happy. We are a family of Frankie’s and love each and every one of them as you do yours. I look forward to watchig him grow as we did Luis. Cheers.

All joy and felicitations on the new arrival! May he have all the blessings of health and happiness. And may his parents have all the blessings of his health and speedy ability to sleep through the night.

Gorgeous! Congrats to all! I hope Luis and Frankie have a relationship like my boys (best friends, worst enemies, and heaven forbid any outsider go to pick on either one because the other comes to their defense)!

Babies make space for themselves by bending their families universe of priorities into the priorities of the baby. As they should. NOTHING is more horrifying than having a baby and watching some members of the family ignore it. Every baby is a good baby so what these photos show is that you have a GOOD family. Go bond. We’re knitters, we know how to wait.

He’s beautiful! – my 3- year-old grandson tried to send his baby sister back to the hospital with a magic wand, after she had been home for a day. He didn’t mind visiting her while she was there, but felt that that was her correct place, and it confused him when they carried her through the front door. May I ask about the bootie pattern please? – is it on Ravelry? My grandchild is due on Friday.

Three weeks early! Thank you, Frankie for speeding things up–your poor mama looked like she was going to pop. Steph, thank you so much for sharing photos of your darling nephews. There hasn’t been a baby in my life for many years and I miss them. Smiling from ear-to-ear here.

Congratulations to the whole family on the arrival of the beautiful Frankie. And now the tyranny of the baby blanket is broken; Frankie came when HE was good and ready to surprise you. From now on, all the pregnant ladies in your family will know they are no longer required to wait with giving birth until your blanket for the baby is finished. Why does this make me smile?

I’m glad I got to touch ‘balloons’ for Frankie today! His last pix already looks like his brother! How utterly terrifically sweetly enomously wonderful he is. I’m very happy he is in your family and happy for mom/dad and all of you.
